What kind of Double Stroller to choose? Side-by-side or tandem?




When you choose a perfect double stroller for your twins or siblings, there are so many things to consider:
- price to fit into your budget,
- your children age,
- features and brands,
- even siblings personalities.
There are basically three kinds of double strollers:
1. Side-by-side double stroller
2. Tandem
3. Double jogging stroller.
Side-by-side models are nice but they require as much space as the single version. These strollers are wider and sometimes may not fit through some doorways, narrow elevator doors, and store isles, everything over 29 inches wide could cause headaches.
Those models are perfect for outdoor walks, especially if you want both kids to entertain each other, while their exploration. Side-by-sides go over curbs more easily, but is good to keep balance on that kind of stroller with both kids. Only one child and uneven weighting may cause veering.
Tandem double strollers are better for just one kid at a time and are easier to maneuver, particularly with one hand. Many tandems accept an infant car seat in one or both stroller seats. These models can accommodate children of two different weights, with the heaviest in the front and the smaller one in the back. There are options also to set up the double stroller to face child to child , toward the parent, or toward the front, depending on children current needs.
Double Jogging Stroller, kind of stroller for active parents, who like to run with their babies, introducing to fitness and joys of the outdoors early on. They are suitable for babies over six months old, babies need to be able to sit upright to be safe in that kind of stroller.
